At the hospital.
Mo Huiling screamed and looked at Gu Jingze begrudgingly, "Jingze, it's so painful. Can you see if my wound got bigger?"
Gu Jingze bent down and looked. It was only a small abrasion, so he said to her, "It's not that big. You don't have to be so scared."
Mo Huiling pouted, "What if it leaves a scar? Look. My leg does not have a single scar on it. If this is going to leave a scar, I'll definitely hate that dreadful Lin Che to death."
"Enough. It's just an abrasion. It won't leave a big scar," he said. "Lin Che did not do it on purpose, so you shouldn't keep hating her."
"You just decided for yourself that she's innocent. I'm telling you that she did it on purpose. Otherwise, why did she have to knock me down when she could have knocked some other person?"
Gu Jingze knew that he could not get through to her, so he did not comment further. He only told her, "Watch the television for a while and don't let your mind wander anymore." Gu Jingze handed the remote to her and looked at the time on his wrist. It had already been some time, but there was no news of Lin Che.
That stupid girl. Where could she have gone?
Mo Huiling aimlessly took the remote and started browsing the channels.
While she was browsing, urgent news suddenly came on screen.
"We just got news of a Porsche hanging on the bridge after an accident. Traffic has been blocked until now and we still do not know about the status of the people inside. We hear that it's a young female driving alone. It is yet to be determined if it was drunk-driving. An emergency rescue operation is taking place but because of the car's dangerous position, the rescuers are having a hard time..."
Mo Huiling was not paying attention and wanted to switch channels, but Gu Jingze stopped her.
He looked up quietly at the television, eyes fixated on the screen.
The screen flashed an image of a yellow Porsche dangling from the bridge.
Lin Che...
Gu Jingze did not even realize that he had said her name out loud in his shock.
Mo Huiling heard Lin Che's name and then took a closer look. It did look like the car she saw earlier. Was Lin Che in that accident?
Mo Huiling suddenly felt happy and forgot all about the pain in her leg. She clapped her hands, feeling as if justice was served, "She deserves it. See, that is called retribution. If she hadn't knocked me down, the heavens would not have punished her."
Gu Jingze heard her words and looked down at her while frowning.
Mo Huiling did not notice Gu Jingze's dark expression. She was so elated at the thought of Lin Che being in danger and on the verge of dying.
It would be great if Lin Che died now. Then, Gu Jingze would be hers again.
Mo Huiling looked up and said, "Hmph. This is called a self-defeat. How deserving."
Gu Jingze swiped away her hand that was holding onto her own sleeve.
Mo Huiling then felt the cold way he was staring intensely at her.
Mo Huiling wondered if she had just forgotten her manners and said something wrong.
However, she did hate Lin Che and for Lin Che to get into an accident because of herself, there was nothing wrong with what she said.
"What's wrong, Jingze?" she asked curiously.
Gu Jingze's eyes were dark as he looked at her, "Huiling, how can you say something like that? Even if she is someone you didn't know, it's still a life we're talking about; it's still a person. A person is about to die because of an accident. How could you be happy about it? How could you say something like she deserved it? Is she really so villainous?"
